Fake Syria War Hysteria Distracts from Obamacare News

I hate to do this to you here, folks, but I’ve got Obamacare news. Here we go. First up from Fox Business, the headline: “Business Owners May Face $100-Per-Day Penalty Under ObamaCare — Small business owners who thought they were off the hook for Obamacare regulations until 2015 may be in for an expensive wake-up call next month. Beginning Oct. 1, any business with at least one employee and $500,000 in annual revenue must notify all employees by letter about the Affordable Care Act’s health-care exchanges, or face up to a $100-per-day fine.”

So if you have an employee at your small business, you’ve gotta send this person a letter informing them about the Obamacare health care exchanges. “The requirement applies to any business regulated under the Fair Labor Standards Act, regardless of size. Going forward, letters are to be distributed to any new hires within 14 days of their starting date, according to the Department of Labor.” So it’s just one more aspect of Obamacare that nobody knows anything about and has been unfortunately overlooked until now.

So in all of this what turns out to be fake hysteria over a nonexistent war in Syria — and that’s where this has ended up, hasn’t it? It’s fake hysteria over a nonexistent war in Syria where the rebels continue to get beat up with conventional weapons, they continue to die. Assad is waging warfare against the rebels with conventional weapons, and now nobody’s doing a thing. Assad stays in power. So we have a fake war with a bunch of hysteria, and, while that’s happening, we learn of a $100-a-day fine for any business beginning October 1st that doesn’t send its employees a letter telling them about the exchanges.
